Types of injury cases

There are many different types of personal injury cases that can happen in Las Vegas. For instance, you may have been injured due to a car accident, slip and fall, trip and fall, food poisoning, product liability, negligent security, assault and battery, or other types of premise liability. These types of cases can cause serious injuries that require an experienced Nevada attorney to pursue the proper defendant, whether it be an AirBnb, hotel, VRBO, another type of business, or a private individual.

The most common types of cases that seem to happen to people while visiting Las Vegas are slip and falls and car accidents.

Slip and falls

Many of the slip and falls occur due to individuals, who slip and fall as a result of a slippery substance in a hotel or casino. These types of cases can be quite complex because establishing liability is no small feat. You must show that the hotel or casino was somehow responsible for the dangerous condition on the floor. This is difficult because you must show that either an employee of the hotel or casino directly caused the dangerous condition or that they were aware or should have been aware of the condition and failed to take reasonable steps to discover and remedy the problem. This can be achieved through video surveillance, witness testimony, sweep logs, or other types of evidence. As slip and fall cases can be difficult to win, it is paramount that you retain a slip and fall attorney that has vast experience in dealing with these types of claims.

Applicable law for recovery

If you were injured in Las Vegas, Nevada, then you must understand that the laws of Nevada apply. Therefore, you should hire an attorney that is licensed to practice law in Nevada. Many people make the mistake of hiring an attorney in the area where they reside. However, this is problematic for several reasons. First, if the attorney in your state is not licensed to practice of law in Nevada, he or she would be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. If your attorney is willing to engage in the unauthorized practice of law, they may be willing to engage in other unethical practices. Second, they may not be privy to the nuances of Nevada law. For instance, the collateral source rule does not apply in Nevada. So your medical bills are part of your damages, regardless of whether they are paid for by health insurance. This plays a direct role in the development of your case and hiring an attorney that is unaware of this substantial benefit could have a negative impact on your case.
